Infantile hepatic haemangioendothelioma (IHH) is the most common benign hepatic tumour in infants. However, experience of managing IHH is lacking and treatments for symptomatic IHH are controversial. Here we report the case of a patient with IHH treated by liver resection. A liver mass was found in a newborn by prenatal ultrasonography. The patient presented with abdominal distention with a tangible mass. Further imaging diagnosis and biopsy were carried out and complete surgical resection of the mass was performed. Histological examination confirmed IHH. The patient recovered uneventfully after surgery, with no additional therapy after discharge and no recurrence during follow-up. We also summarise previously published resected cases of IHH and review the surgical outcomes. Surgical resection and liver transplantation appear to be effective treatments for symptomatic IHH.

Fetal ventricular aneurysm is a rare congenital cardiac malformation that can occur in various cardiac cavities and often exists in isolation without other malformations. Modern ultrasound technology can assist the prenatal diagnosis of ventricular aneurysm. Herein, we will present a rare case of a giant left ventricular aneurysm detected by prenatal ultrasonography.

This case report describes a finding of vascular malformation of an aborted foetus of gestational age of the 22nd week. This concerns meningocerebral angiodysplasia, located in the posterior fossa and around the thalami. This disease is rare and is often accompanied by renal agenesis. The finding was complicated by hydrocephalus. Our report compares all three diagnostic methods (prenatal ultrasonography, post-mortem MR and autopsy). Prenatal ultrasonography described only hydrocephalus and reduction of cerebral parenchyma. MR displayed the extent of the malformation, the exact diagnosis was however determined by histological examination. MR described agenesis of structures of midbrain, which was confirmed by autopsy.

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.
